Challenge

Looking to enhance guest experiences at these new hotel locationswhile maximizing efficiencies, Pestana CR7 sought to adapt toprominent industry demands, offering solutions that provide faster,more streamlined processes that can be accessed via personal smartdevices.Solution:To cater to the rapidly evolving guest demands, the Pestana CR7Lifestyle Hotels management chose to implement several ASSA ABLOY Hospitality solutions at its new locations in Funchal and Lisboa.

Operating with secure Seos technology, ASSA ABLOY Hospitality Mobile Access delivers unmatched security by working with a hotel’s propertymanagement system to allocate guestrooms and generate an encrypteddigital key that is securely delivered to a guest’s smartphone. The smartphone places the key in a secure digital key vault within themobile app. When presented to the appropriate lock, the app thentransmits the encrypted key over a secure communication channel using the device’s integrated Bluetooth. This protocol ensures that onlythose users with authorized access to a specific guestroom can receivedigital key information to unlock the room. Also, Pestana CR7 Lifestyle Hotels has implemented the VingCard Signature RFID door locks, which offer security technology with powerful anti-cloning features that prevent unauthorized access torooms as well as unauthorized duplication of key cards. In addition, the hotels have implemented the VingCard Remote Controller, a devicecompatible with an electronic locking system that allows access control on common doors like guest entrances, health clubs and conferencesuites.
